That's more or less how nostr works, except instead of websites there are notes (a generic type which can be anything - including website content), and instead of servers there are 'relays'.
- keiferski 1y agoYeah the more I read about it, the more it does sound somewhat similar to what I was proposing. However, the copywriting there is not in this vein at all. IMO the metaphor of personal websites is a simple, universal one that most people can understand. Nostr seems unintelligible to anyone that isn't pretty technical.
- t1E9mE7JTRjf 1y agoThat's for sure how it is right now. A mix of early adopter techy types. In this case (nostr.com) it's just a website, and not actually apart of nostr. In the same way that weather.com isn't a spokesperson for the weather
- jb55 1y agomost nostr apps you can click a single button to create an account, since it just generates a keypair. no email verification, nothing. what is simpler than that? you don't even need to know how to host something on a server, the relays do that for you.
- nout 1y agoUnfortunately there isn't a single good metaphor to use for novel thing like this. Some people would get the websites metaphor better, some people get twitter metaphor better, some people get "own your own keys" metaphor. People may be scared of doing their own websites and people have no idea what's involved in that... so help us find the right metaphors here :)
